Clare designed a life-sized giraffe for Studio Shamshiri for Irene Neuwirth’s store in New York City. She imagined the beast was a goddess of creation: from deep inside her pure heart sprouted flowers, birds, vines, snails, butterflies, four-leaf clovers, and magnificent mushrooms from her golden mane and feet. The giant dream creature appears to be made of fine porcelain and is a friendly face on Madison Avenue. (Photos by Stephen Kent Johnson)
